<DIV>i can't speak to the microphone issue, but in our lab we use a USB "Gravis Game Pad Pro", which looks just like a PlayStation controller.</DIV>
<DIV>you can find them on froogle for about $20. you program the various buttons to mimic keyboard buttons, so when you design your eprime experiment you don't enable the response box device. works like a charm.</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hello,<BR><BR>I have a question about people's experience using response boxes and <BR>microphones with E-Prime. My lab is considering using E-Prime for our <BR>stimulus presentation programs; the only hurdle at this point is the <BR>high cost of the PST Serial Response Box, for ourselves and for several <BR>collaborators we share our experiments with.<BR><BR>Our experiments require precise timings for voice-trigger and <BR>button-press input. My question is, has anyone managed to use E-Prime <BR>with hardware other than the PST SR Box, particularly for voice-trigger <BR>input? For instance, is it possible to use a standard microphone with <BR>a good sound card for voice triggers, or a cheaper gamepad for button <BR>input?<BR><BR>(PST tech support says such methods aren't supported, but I can't tell <BR>if that means they're difficult/impossible or only that the company <BR>prefers people to buy their hardware.)<BR><BR>Thanks for any ideas or insight!<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR>--<BR>Christopher J.
